fastbob Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share Posted April 19, 2019 FFS what have I gotta do ? The guy gave me a £200 cash deposit and we agreed full payment in cash on Tuesday . Now he wants to pay me by PayPal . I'm not keen because I don't fully understand how this works and I've heard the stories about withdrawn transactions.

Tiggie Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I'd definitely be cautious. Wanting to pay by PayPal rings too many alarm bells to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggie Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 It happened to my brother with a laptop. He received the funds and as soon as he had marked it as despatched the money got taken back out of his account Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggs Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I understand people not wanting to carry loads of cash or having time to go to the bank. But if you're not happy a small message of you'd prefer cash please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbob Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share Posted April 19, 2019 I understand people not wanting to carry loads of cash or having time to go to the bank. But if you're not happy a small message of you'd prefer cash please! I've done exactly that and there has been no response. This is becoming an emotional rollercoaster .

Hoggs Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 From his point of view he probably just wants the bike and doesn't want to have to wait. And everyone hates going to the bank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynax Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I'm not sure, but if it is paid as friends and family, the process can't be reversed there is no buyer protection using that method, but just check with PP's terms and conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bianco2564 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I would be super wary, I have said about a PayPal scam before.Tell him its cash only or he can have his deposit back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Richzx6r Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I'm the same I always prefer seeing the money in my hand instead of electronic as there's too many ways it can go tits up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerontious Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I have bought a bike using PayPal. It allowed me to make part of the payment using my credit card so I could spread the cost over a couple of months. Something that's normally impossible for a private sale. No big deal.

Not thought of that good trick to remember...Don't forget there is always direct bank transfer. If you ever do this send £1 first just to make sure they get that (no mixed numbers ) then send the rest.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
